According to Euroconsult’s annual Space Economy Report the total space economy in 2021 totaled $370 billion. With Elon Musk bringing a social media and pop culture refocus to space exploration through SpaceX, and the expansion of the military to include the Space Force, students are more connected to space news than ever!
Leading homework help platform, Brainly, recently conducted a survey of over 1,000 middle and high school students to better understand their outlook on the future of space exploration:
>> 57.4% of students responded they enjoy learning about space, while 20% of respondents stated their schools do not currently cover space in their curriculum
>> 64.2% believe there is life outside of Earth
>> Over 52% of respondents believe humans will inhabit another planet within their lifetime
>> 47.1% look forward to space-related events such as NASA launches, while 45.4% of respondents actively track major astrological events such as lunar eclipses, discoveries, etc.
>>54.3% stated they would choose to travel to space if it was offered to the public
>> 65.4% of respondents who stated they dreamed of being an astronaut when they were younger would still like to make space exploration their career
While we think about exploring space for our next home, many students think there is no doubt that we will be living amongst the stars in the next 70-80 years.
With the conversation of space travel becoming more relevant than ever before, Brainly offers curriculum-based prompts and quizzes which can assist in growing our students understanding of the world/(s) around us. The platform provides prompts such as Which statement most accurately differentiates a terrestrial planet from a Jovian planet? and What is one advantage infrared astronomy has over visible light astronomy? to better challenge young learners!
